-Sailing on exotic waters can add a luxury to your travels as the breeze sweeps your hair back and the water rushes beneath you.

Sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and let someone else do the hard work, while you take in the sites and relish the fact that you’re in an incredible foreign country. Next time you’re travelling; don’t just opt for walking or taking the train. Sometimes, a city’s best kept secrets can be experienced by taking a ride on the water.

1. Istanbul – Sehir Hatlari Ferries

For first time visitors to Istanbul, take note – this city of looming domes and intricate mosaics is a bi-continental city. Take in the beauty of both the European side and the Asian side by taking a trip on one of the Sehir Hatlari Ferries. As is with most ferry rides, a sunset ride is sure to wow you.

2. Sydney – Manly Ferry

The Harbour in Sydney is definitely one of its standout features. Taking the 30-minute ferry ride will show off some of Sydney’s other best features, including the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the gaping mouth of Luna Park and the skyline of the city itself.

3. Venice – Vaporetto

I’m sure there’s no need to tell you that Venice is the ultimate city in which to take a ferry ride. In fact, sometimes it’s your only option. In a city where the traffic consists of garbage ferries and gondolas, these Italians know how to show off their city on the water. While gondolas are an iconic way to see the city by canal, take advantage of the hop-on, hop-off boats which will allow you to explore the hidden (and I do mean hidden) gems the city has on offer.

4. London – Clipper

Ah, London. A city of royalty, grand architecture, double-decker buses and…traffic jams. Save time and hope on a leisurely ride along the Thames aboard the city’s Clipper boats, giving you a great view of the London Eye, the O2 Centre and the Tower Bridge (and much more).

5. Lake Como – Gestione Navigazione Laghi

Witness the unrivalled beauty that is Lake Como. Little towns can be found dotted along the shorefront, wrapping around the Lake and providing you with days of exploration and adventure. A ferry trip is the best way to see the sites, providing stunning photo opportunities and a relaxing break in between towns, from Bellagio to Menaggio and beyond.

6. Hong Kong – Star Ferry

A city full of character and excitement, enjoy a trip on the Star Ferry to take in the towering skyline. If the crowds don’t bother you, try a trip just before the 8pm Symphony of Lights display that happens every night in Hong Kong. It will seem like New Year’s Eve all over again.

7. San Francisco – Golden Gate Ferry

The Golden Gate Ferry shows off some of the best features of one of America’s iconic cities. Take the 30-minute San Francisco- Sausalito route to see the best icons of the city, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Angel Island.

8. New York City – Staten Island Ferry

Some people say that you haven’t lived until you see the New York Skyline. So what better way to see it than from the water? The Staten Island Ferry offers a free journey which shows off views of the Statue of Liberty and that memorable skyline.

9. Dubrovnik – Jadrolinija Ferry

A city known for its medieval buildings and Roman ruins, a ferry trip will let you sail across the sapphire-blue Adriatic Sea to see other stunning sights, including vacation-spot islands such as Split and quiet (and sometimes uninhabited) islands that surround.

A Character by William Wordsworth

- May 17, 2021

‘A Character’ by William Wordsworth is a five stanza poem which is divided into sets of four lines, or quatrains . Each of these quatrains follows a consistent and structured rhyming pattern of aabb, alternating end sounds as the poet saw fit from stanza to stanza.
